Description: | A small cast lead alloy musket ball or pistol shot dating from the Post-Medieval period, (1500-1800). The object is spherical however is flattened on several sides. This may be due to impact on firing however they may also be set up marks caused by gasses behind the ball during firing which would have squeezed the ball against the muzzle as they occur on several sides. The casting line and remains of the spru are visible. It has a dark cream patina.
